Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for reporting of channel quality indication in Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) wireless systems.
Claims92
A method for wireless communications, comprising:
- determining a plurality of periodicities for reporting one or more Channel Quality Indicators (CQIs) from an apparatus;
- and
- transmitting, to the apparatus, information about the plurality of periodicities.
An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- means for determining a plurality of periodicities for reporting one or more Channel Quality Indicators (CQIs) from another apparatus;
- and
- means for transmitting, to the other apparatus, information about the plurality of periodicities.
An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- a circuit configured to determine a plurality of periodicities for reporting one or more Channel Quality Indicators (CQIs) from another apparatus;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit, to the other apparatus, information about the plurality of periodicities.
A computer program product, comprising a computer-readable medium comprising code for:
- determining a plurality of periodicities for reporting one or more Channel Quality Indicators (CQIs) from an apparatus;
- and
- transmitting, to the apparatus, information about the plurality of periodicities.
A method for wireless communications, comprising:
- obtaining, at an apparatus, information about a plurality of periodicities for reporting one or more Channel Quality Indicators (CQIs);
- determining to use a first periodicity of the plurality of periodicities, if the apparatus is in a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) mode;
- and
- determining to use a second periodicity of the plurality of periodicities, if the apparatus is not in the DRX mode.
